✨ Grab Only What You Need

If you’ve spent any time in After Effects, you’ve imported entire projects from your computer - only to use one composition from that project.

That’s exactly what Pluck was made for.

Just drag and drop the AE projects that you’d like to import into Pluck. Select the compositions that you want to import, and they’ll automatically be imported into After Effects - without having to open those projects!

🎯 What is Pluck and Why It Matters

Pluck helps designers extract compositions from After Effects projects. Pluck allows you to:

  • Import only the compositions you need from another .aep file
  • Automatically download all the dependencies of the compositions
  • Export your files and compositions as a new .aep project

💡 Why This Improves Your Workflow

Think about how much time you spend organizing imported projects:

  • Removing unused comps
  • Fixing missing files
  • Cleaning up messy folders

This product eliminates all of that. You get:

  • Faster workflow with fewer steps
  • Cleaner projects with no unnecessary assets
  • Reliable imports with all dependencies handled automatically
